bench: Madrigal (IF), McCann (C), Robert (OF), Collins or Mercedes
Rotation: Giolito, Cease, Kopech, Keller, Rodon/Archer
Bullpen: Bummer, Lopez, Kela, Archer, Pomeranz, Marshall, Cordero, Barlow, Fry
Cease and Kopech will be good I can feel it
I think the payroll is like $160M. No big deal. Didn’t even trade Madrigal or Robert, probably should though since they’ll be riding the pine. Save it for trading for an ace or two at the deadline.
